Hello! I’m Becca

About Me

Hello and welcome!

I earned my Master of Social Work degree in Ottawa from Carleton University, located on the unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples, and I now live and work in Victoria on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. Through my work in neonatal and pediatric intensive care, perinatal care, and psychiatry I gained experience walking alongside families in crisis and bearing witness to their resilience.  At the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health, I’ve had the opportunity to support families both in the Early Intervention Program and in my current role in infant mental health. I’ve worked closely with children with complex neurodevelopmental differences, and medical needs. As well, I’ve worked with families facing systemic barriers such as housing and food insecurity, and work to understand how these factors shape each individual families well-being. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of trauma, attachment, and child development, and continue to guide my commitment to practicing in a way that upholds dignity, equity, and respect for all families.
